Kebanggaan Malaysia

PARA pemain Cardiff City meraikan kejayaan mereka selepas berjaya melangkah ke saingan Liga Perdana England musim depan.

MENTERI Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek menyifatkan kejayaan kelab bola sepak Liga Kejuaraan England, Cardiff City melayakkan diri ke Liga Perdana England (EPL) musim depan merupakan kebanggaan buat rakyat negara ini.

Sambil mengucapkan tahniah kepada kelab yang dimiliki ahli perniagaan Malaysia, Tan Sri Vincent Tan itu, Ahmad Shabery berkata, kejayaan tersebut dapat membawa jenama Malaysia di persada bola sepak antarabangsa.

"Saya amat gembira dengan kejayaan tersebut. Tahniah, kerana ia sedikit sebanyak telah memupuk semangat kepada para pemain kebangsaan untuk bekerja lebih keras dalam mengharumkan nama negara di peringkat antarabangsa," katanya semalam.

Kelab tersebut, yang menggunakan jersi yang tertera nama Malaysia, menamatkan penantian selama 51 tahun untuk layak ke Liga Perdana England.

Keputusan seri tanpa jaringan yang dicatatkan kelab bimbingan jurulatih dari Scotland, Malky Mackay ketika menentang Charlton Athletic awal pagi semalam, membolehkan mereka beraksi dalam liga utama England itu buat julung- julung kalinya.

Mengulas lanjut, Ahmad Shabery berkata, kelab berkenaan telah lama dianggap sebagai 'pasukan kebangsaan' kerana ia dimiliki oleh rakyat Malaysia.

"Malaysia dan Cardiff City sudah lama mempunyai pertalian spiritual kerana apabila penduduk di sana melihat pasukan itu, mereka pasti mengaitkan dengan Malaysia kerana kita adalah penaja utama yang membawa mereka ke tahap ini," katanya.

Beliau turut memuji program pembangunan pada peringkat akar umbi yang dijalankan oleh kelab berkenaan dan menggesa pasukan Harimau Malaya bimbingan Datuk K. Rajagobal untuk mencontohinya.

Turut senada dengan beliau ialah legenda bola sepak negara, Datuk Soh Chin Aun yang menyifatkan kejayaan kelab itu beraksi di EPL musim depan pasti menggembirakan seluruh rakyat Malaysia.
"Kita patut mencontohi bagaimana Vincent Tan membawa pasukan ini ke EPL agar kita mampu mencapai tahap lebih baik pada masa akan datang.

"Skuad Harimau Malaya patut menjadikan kejayaan kelab itu sebagai pembakar semangat untuk berusaha dengan lebih keras bagi melayakkan diri beraksi pada Sukan Olimpik nanti," katanya.

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...

Organising Major Sports Events Can Inspire Sports Culture Among The People - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Organising major sports events can help inspire sports culture among the people and ensure a healthy lifestyle said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. Khairy said the Tour of Malaysia cycling race organised since 1963, for example, can encourage more people to take the sport in a more competitive way or just for recreation purposes. "A study carried out by a world renown medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that 61 percent of adults in Malaysia do not engage themselves in active sports. "A study by the Health Ministry revealed that only 25 percent of Malaysians exercise," he said in his speech when launching the 2013 Tour of Malaysia (Jelajah Malaysia) at the Youth and Sports Ministry, here, Wednesday. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...
